The Lagos State Police Command has
arrested a suspected robber, Ebere Nwankwo, for allegedly attacking and
raping a male victim in the Lekki area of the state.
It was learnt that
20-year-old Nwankwo, after dispossessing his victim, identified only as
Martins, of the sum of N22,000, allegedly had anal sexual intercourse
with the victim.
This is just as two other robbery
suspects – Jelili Babatunde and Ramon Haruna – were arrested by the
police in the Isokoko, Agege area, while dispossessing pedestrians of
their valuables.
Lagos State Police Public Relations
Officer, SP Dolapo Badmos, said the robbery suspect would be charged to
court with sodomy and stealing.
She said, “The suspect has confessed to
the crime. He said the sexual intercourse was to make his victim forget
about the stealing. We will charge him to court with sodomy and
stealing.”
In the Agege incident, Haruna told our
correspondent that his friend, Babatunde, lured him into the operation,
adding that they had realised N11,000 and some phones, before they were
arrested by the Isokoko division.
He said, “I am a mechanic. My parents
are responsible people. It was bad friendship that made me to go into
robbery. My friend had lured me to go out with him to attack those
pedestrians. I rode the motorcycle that we used for the operation.
Jelili (Babatunde) had a toy gun that we used in dispossessing people of
their property.”
The police spokesperson, Badmos said the suspects would soon be charged to court.
